Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe said officers were initially called out around 2 p.m. on reports of a domestic disturbance. Officers tried to locate the female caller who reported she was being beaten, but were unable to.

About 90 minutes later, another call for service was made for the same address. Police say callers informed them that a black male had exited the home firing a shotgun in the neighborhood.

The first two responding officers — Eric Bojaj and Kevin Stafford — were both shot by the suspect, according to Monroe. Both officers' injuries were described as "superficial."

The patrol car of a third officer just arriving on the scene took shots, but that officer was not injured.

Monroe said that before police arrived, the suspect, Brandon Brewer, 27, who was believed to have been looking for a woman, approached another home on the street. A 10-year-old girl came to the door, told Brewer the woman was not there and then shut the door, police said.

That's when Brewer fired a shot through a window to gain entry to the home, police said. The girl was hit, but police said her injuries are not life-threatening.

Shortly after 4 p.m., negotiators were able to get Brewer to come out of the home and take him into custody.
